I'm still getting about the same fps, but it isn't really a problem. Its just weird that my friend with a 9800M GS graphics card is getting the same framerate as me.

I'll do that during raids if my framerate drops too low, but it just seems absurd that my friend with an ASUS laptop with a Core2 Duo 2.83GHz and a nVidia 9800M GS would get the same framerate as me. I know WoW only uses two of my cores, but still. Is a 9800M GS as good as my HD 4870?

Bios update anybody? I was told this would solve my screen flicker issue, but i can't find an updated BIOS anywhere.. Also, the CCC doesn't work in windows 7 yet. Is there a file I can change manually with notepad or something to bring my fan speed up to 35%?

Yeah I know. But I was only getting 30 fps with VSync turned off in a place where I thought I should be getting about 50-55. I know there would be no difference then with VSync on (I'd still only get 30), but there are other times when my fps will drop down another 15-20 fps. That means as it is...

VSync seems to make the game run much smoother, and I usually only get 10-15 fps higher with it off (70 vs 60 or 35 vs 30). I'm really worried seeing as my friend, who has a Q6600 and dual 8800GT is getting much higher framerates than I am. Are the dual 8800GT really that much better than the 4870?

Ok, 3DMark06 scored 14496. Is that what it should be for my framerate in WoW? Heres a link to my test: http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=D4A1C05F5A2FED58D4DD5D78AA740385

Nope, brand new computer. I've updated my drivers, can somebody point me to where I can update my BIOS?

If it is due to my CPU, can you point out any overclocking links for my specific CPU? It was supopsed to be in my sig.. oh well. Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz Seems like it would be more than powerful enough for WoW though.

Hmm. I was comparing 8x multisample and 1x multisample and there is no difference AT ALL. Why is multisampling not working?.. Ok, I figured out that problem, but still.. only 40-60 fps in the game's oldest content. In the current stuff it is usually around 25-35 fps.

The title pretty much explains my problem. I'm using an XFX 4870 512MB but for some reason I'm only getting around 32 FPS in WoW.. Other reviews of the same card say 100+ fps, and I know somebody whose laptop has a nVidia 9800M GS and is getting the same framerate. With my current setup I...
